I gave had some great experiences and some very “cold shoulder” experiences. Needless to say if no one wants to help me there are plenty of other shop out there that will help and I will gratefully part with my money to those that give great sale assistance.
I find that there is often one sales girl, often mid 20’s or older in the boutique chains who are open minded.
Recently in Sydney in got into a very interesting conversation, between trying dresses, about corsets. Turns out the sales lady did fashion design and was somewhat keen to learn more about the TG community.
Golden rule is be polite, don’t push it and respect their profession.
Point to note that is if they are friendly and helpful, then thank them for being so. Often they just shrug and say everyone is equal to them.

If you encounter problems, remind the sales person that there are discrimination laws in Australia and ask for their full name, their attitude seems to improve immediately.
Happy shopping girls! -
